Limited media debates based on age, “more elderly people older than aged 30 years, claim on private medical insurance”, seems to dominate disadvantages for under aged 30s belonging to private health care insurance funds.

Being that it's often mentioned private medical insurance covers the cost of operating on knee-and-hip replacement, when I see people jogging, I reflect on why foolish people believe jogging keeps them fit.

I have no medical training, yet over many years of watching/listing to media medical programs, no detailed information supporting jogging has any health benefits. My doctor recommends walking for 2 hours within a week.

I suggest that considerable jogging could: damage internal organs; raise blood pressure significantly more than could be medically recommended. That many professional sports persons involved in running, spend much of their time leg muscle weight lifting.

As lungs don't increase in performance the more running is carrying out, professional runners don't spend that much effort running as many people would expect. Professional runners are more concerned with diet and energy levels.

People whom have: poor hereditary bone/joint issues; have spent years doing work which places stress on knees and hips, exampling panel beaters constantly moving joints during work, which probably should be covered by work-cover insurance.

Jogging too many hours-per-week, joggers are future insurance claimants, people who don't jog and/or don't have any family history of joint-and-bone density problems are paying for, which private medical insurance companies are profiting from.

Googled Internet search will support exercise induces brain chemical endorphins rewards. Workers making lots of correctly performed tasks, acknowledge what was done correctly by brains rewarding workers with a small chemical Pituitary gland reward.

People who don't physically move enough and/or don't make many knowledgeable decisions during employment and morning joggers, I suggest, enjoy running to feel those endorphins, feeling they feel fitter.

My discussion: not enough media discussions on whether jogging has any short-term fitness and/or long-term benefits, and/or damaging knee-and-hip joints and internal organs, warning.

Should joggers/runners/daredevils be excluded from P.M.I. claims? Lowering P.M.I charges, allowing sensible people to have affordable private health insurance.

Dear Steve,

This discussion is empty because there is no private medical insurance in Australia. The so-called "private" health funds are merely extensions of the government's Medicare - they never were truly private, they are subsidised by the government and operate by its orders.

Indeed, had there been private medical insurance here, then it would be up to the insurers to define their risk-groups as they please and up to the customers to decide whether or not to take their insurance (with no tax penalties for those who decide against it).

I gave posters 48 hours to respond before I rushed in, adding further posts.
How many posters took the opportunity?: 1

Regardless of public or private health care, my continued arguments apply, the more private health care services are used the more premium charges rise.

On “start a new topic” post attachment on how physical activity stimulates endorphins. My previous post topic post on D, Trump's inaugural speech, last posts on a media stories, on how the youngest children attending school who soon after are diagnosed with ADHD, whom are in reality, were still influenced by early childhood hyperactivity. Why would there be a sudden cliff drop-off of childhood hyperactivity for older children whom first begin school?

ADHD is sometimes referred to as “speed” an illegal drug. That some people find giving speed to children to calm children down, difficult to except. I have previously theorised on a psychology forum, children's hyperactivity is caused by children trying to induce endorphins stimuli self-medication, that as young children become stressed by long hours of teachers instructional talking and other cognitive overloading activities, that built up mental stress over long hours of pretend academic learning. Children constantly try to stimulate endorphins, that pituitary gland fails to keep up endorphins production, leaving available endorphins depleted. Giving children ADHD medication speed, provides children mental stress relief medication allowing children to easily calm down and concentrate on what's happening.

The youngest children who have failed to calm down before starting their first year in attending school, bored and/or repressing some environmental situation, continue hyperactive physical activity stimulating endorphins rewards.

When playground and sports activities are offered to children whom usually participate, children seeing open spaces instead of repressive boring and stressful tasks classrooms, find the freedom to run and play stimulating endorphins using exercising sports.

The incentive to be physical, not to desire complex thought past ball game activities and/or some desired sport that for most people in adulthood is a life long spare time recreational pass time.

Anecdotally, I know an aged 40 years man who informs me he had a knee replacement operation. The operation wasn't a total success, having several following operations that left him with knee swelling problem issues after standing for long periods. He stated as a child, an elderly woman advised him that too much jumping around would see him with knee joint problems. He tells me, as a child, he failed to take the elderly woman's advice.

Now we have women with low leg muscle density strength compared to men, playing: AFL football; soccer; netball; many hours in employment standing, getting out of chairs, walking from place to place.

Private medical care insurance public contributions to private funds is made worse by too early to attend school education, children need to self-medicate using physical activities endorphins stimulated using running and jumping sports activities lasting for hours in skin cancer causing sun-light, which while at school continues for 13 years. Enthusiasm for endorphins addictive behaviour physical activities may not have happened if aged 5 and 6 years children were not forced to spend many hours without calm rest, being spoken to by teachers on remembering/learning academic studying letters and numbers.

Student desires to medicate academic mental stress, to those whom find sports less desirable, may lean towards illegal drug consumption.

I theorise, sports industry is important to a secretive establishment in dummying down citizenry, in order to prevent citizens from realising the many lies and fake news distractions from citizenry experiencing real human Homo-Sapien intelligent thought, creating truck driver Neanderthal intelligence. Sports being a more Neanderthal visual emotional reflex prompt fight and flight. Where school academic learning: unproven long time ago boring irrelevant history; rarely used maths outside of school, other than handling money; English subject chalkboard copying phrases which on hearing children's subconscious ability to quickly formulate sentences, fails to provide many children with intelligent conversation, hearing words “cool” and “amazing”; several other curriculum subjects, D. Trump says students are leaving school “deprived of all knowledge”.

My added comment is that schools prevent students from wanting to experience Homo-Sapien intelligent inquisition, leaving students incapable of correcting forming intelligent knowledge, being left to be told by media what to believe.

Remove tricked by school education mental stress emotional need to do hyperactive sports, 13 years of over active activities that I strongly suggest will have no long term health benefits, that limbs and legs joint durability will not strengthen.

The two learning instructions: establishment government version of academic and visual emotional stimulate sports activities, neglects a third learning that comes with limited emotional reaction and academic learning examples, that being experienced good performing common sense. That school taught academic held in classroom studying and ball chasing sports, fails to provide human sense whether alternative actions are safe to perform. The man currently seen on a television commercial suffering from emphysema, saying teenagers are stupid, that Mr T's “World Craziest Fools”; “Science of Stupid”, are mostly academically stupid, deprived of all knowledge, emotionally bored teenagers trying to amuse themselves by taking insane risks that land them in hospital, hopefully covered by private medical insurance... more thought risk awareness teenagers would not do. More sensible adult people in employment, who contribute to a medical insurance funds, paying for other teenagers poor common sense medical bills. As poor common sense teenagers work themselves in sports copying sports stars rough tackling, neglecting joint safety, eventually need knee and/or hip replacements good common sense citizenry to help pay for.
